Hi guys,
This is dizz from lbc. This is my first post here.
Came through a hard situation recently.
Check this profile:
https://localbitcoins.com/p/vimalbbm/
This guy opened a trade with me on 15th-April-2015. He made the payment (Rs.9200/-) within minutes and I provided him the bitcoins almost instantly. His profile was looking decent so I didn't asked him for screenshots or anything.
Later after 10 days, I got call from another guy who claimed that the money was taken from his account and he will be filing an official complaint to the police regarding this. I didn't believed what he said first. (How come money can be stolen from one's account without his knowledge? Atleast they will be asking for OTPs right.) Anyway, as I was confused, I just suggested him to go ahead with police complaint.
Later on June 18, I got call from Gujarat Crime Branch and also received an official notice demanding the details of the transaction. My bank account was also blocked meanwhile. I have provided all the details what I have and explained everything to the police over phone/email.
On the same day(15-04-2015) of this guy's trade with me. He has opened trade with few more people in localbitcoins and have sent payment to them also. He has taken approximately 50000rs from that account. And it was transferred to different mmids and mobile number, each amount is below 5000 (I received 5000+4200). Investigation is still going on.
This guys profile was ID verified and had almost 6 real name verification. So, my point is, it doesn't matter how much good the profile looks like always be careful while dealing in lbc.
Regards,
Dizz
